Setting Up Your Wave® Radio

Before you beginThank you for purchasing the Bose® Wave radio.

Fourteen years of research by Bose Corporation bring you the benefits of award-winning pat-ented acoustic waveguide speaker technology. Using this technology, a tube efficiently trans-fers energy from a small loudspeaker to the outside air over a whole range of bass notes. And, by folding long waveguides into intricate patterns, they fit into products small enough to be placed comfortably in your home. There is a 37-inch (93.5-cm) long waveguide inside the Wave radio’s enclosure, enabling this tabletop radio to produce room-filling sound with full, rich bass.

Your Wave radio also includes:

• Integrated system design for high acoustic quality requiring no complex adjustments

• A high performance stereo tuner with 6 AM and 6 FM station presets

• Two independent alarms, with battery backup power to save the settings for wakeup during power loss

• A credit card-size infrared remote control with optional mounting strip

• Inputs for an additional sound source, such as a CD or tape player

To fully appreciate all of these features, please take the time to follow this owner’s guide care-fully. It helps you set up and operate your radio and enjoy its high-fidelity sound.

Installing the batteryWARNING: Keep the remote control battery away from children. It may cause a fire or chem-ical burn if mishandled. Do not recharge, disassemble, heat above 100˚C (212˚F), or inciner-ate. Dispose of used battery promptly. Replace only with a battery of the correct type and model number.

The 9V battery maintains clock and alarm settings and operates the Wave radio’s alarm sys-tem for approximately 48 hours during a power loss, or while the radio is temporarily unplugged. Operating without this battery results in the loss of clock and alarm settings, and station presets in the event of a power loss, but does not harm the radio.

Use a standard 9V battery (IEC 6F22 in Europe), available at most retail stores.

Note: The battery does not provide power for Wave radio operation or for the display.

1. Carefully turn your radio upside down.

2. Locate the battery compartment on the bottom (Figure 2).

3. Press the arrow on the cover to slide the compartment open.

4. Lift the battery clip out of the compartment and align it with the battery as shown.

5. Snap the terminals together firmly.

6. Place the battery in the compartment and slide the cover closed. Then turn the radio right side up.

Maintaining Your Wave® Radio

Taking care of your Wave radioThe only necessary maintenance is periodic battery replacement and cleaning.

Cleaning your radioUse only a dry cloth to clean the outside of the Wave radio. If necessary, you may use a soft-bristled attachment to gently vacuum the front of the radio.

Do not use any solvents, chemicals, or cleaning solutions containing alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives. Do not allow liquids to spill into any openings on the radio.

If liquids get into the product, turn the radio off. Call Bose® Customer Service as soon as pos-sible to arrange for service. (See phone numbers on inside back cover.)

Replacing the batteriesWARNING: Keep the remote control battery away from children. It may cause a fire or chem-ical burn if mishandled. Do not recharge, disassemble, heat above 100˚C (212˚F), or inciner-ate. Dispose of used battery promptly. Replace only with a battery of the correct type and model number.

To ensure correct operation of your Wave radio’s alarm system, replace the 9V battery every year and following an extended power loss. A dead battery may leak and cause damage. Do not unplug your Wave radio from the power outlet while replacing the battery. If you do unplug it, you will need to reset the clock, alarm settings, and station presets. For further information on replacing the 9V battery, see “Installing the battery” on page 7.

For information on replacing the remote control battery, see “Setting up the remote control” on page 9.
